Town in trouble over phosphate boom near Aurora North Carolina
The backwater town of 71 people in Beaufort County sits atop one of the world’s richest phosphate deposits, with Texasgulf mining nearby. A local land use plan banning mining within a mile has sparked a fight as the company denies plans to mine Aurora for decades, while residents fear the town’s decline and see potential growth from the phosphate wealth. Local leaders seek state help to chart Aurora’s future amid tensions between residents, the company, and county officials.
